"Ultimately, though, it's living people that frighten me the most. It's always seemed to me that nothing could be scarier than a person, because as dreadful as places can be, they're still just places; and no matter how awful ghosts might seem, they're just dead people. I always thought that the most terrifying things anyone could ever think up were the things living people came up with."

been thinking quite a bit about exchange prog, thinking about the school and about leaving familiarity for well, adventure (sort of.)
i'm still in a very jumbled mixed-up state of mind right now, and i don't know how to decide.
i don't know what is best for me, what is best for us .
it is very selfish, and maybe the fact that i'm not very sentimental makes it easier (theoretically at least) for me to leave for a sem. still juggling with the thought of going there alone, without pre-knowing anyone. that kind of independence and freedom does sound very appealing.
